1. Introduction

Welcome to DroneSpot ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website or use our mobile application (collectively, the "Service").

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the Service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or device ("Personal Information").

A. Personal Data

While using our Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you, including:

  • Email address (for account creation and recovery).
  • Username / Pilot Alias (displayed publicly on the map).
  • Profile Picture (optional).

B. Usage Data

We may automatically collect information on how the Service is accessed and used. This Usage Data may include:

  • Your device's Internet Protocol address (IP address).
  • Browser type and version.
  • The pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, and the time spent on those pages.
  • Unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.

C. Location Data (Crucial)

DroneSpot is a location-based service. We collect and store location data in two ways:

  • User-Submitted Spots: When you explicitly "drop a pin" to create a new spot, we store the GPS coordinates you provide. This information is public and shared with other users of the Service.
  • Device Location: We may request access to your device's location to show your current position on the map relative to flying spots. You can enable or disable access to this information at any time through your device settings.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for various purposes:

  • To provide and maintain the Service: Ensuring the map functions correctly and spots are loaded.
  • To manage your account: Managing your registration as a user of the Service.
  • To facilitate Crowdsourcing: Displaying your submitted spots and ratings to the DroneSpot community (attributed to your username).
  • To notify you about changes: Including updates to our service or changes to our Terms.
  • To provide customer support: Responding to your inquiries.
  • To monitor usage: Analyzing how users interact with the app to improve features.

4. Disclosure of Your Information

We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

A. Publicly Shared Information

Any information you voluntarily contribute to the Service (such as Spot Locations, Descriptions, Comments, Ratings, and Videos) is intended for public consumption and is viewable by other users. Do not submit information about a location if you do not want that location to be publicly known.

B. Service Providers

We may share your data with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work (e.g., cloud hosting, map data providers, analytics services).

C. Legal Requirements

We may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation (e.g., if required by law enforcement regarding a specific flight incident).
  • Protect and defend the rights or property of DroneSpot.
  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service.
  • Protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public.

5. Security of Data

The security of your data is important to us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Your Data Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., EEA, California), you may have specific rights regarding your personal data, including:

  • The right to access: You can request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification: You can request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate.
  • The right to erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data (e.g., delete your account).

To exercise these rights, please contact us at: info@dronespot.app

7. Third-Party Links

Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us (e.g., YouTube video links, affiliate links to stores). If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.

8. Children's Privacy

Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 13 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your Children have provided us with Personal Data, please contact us.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
